Second Review of Sizzix Switch using Multiple dies and Embossing Folders 

BRILLIANT! to test the sandwiches on the manual machine first!

Wonderful! For the magic mat, it you put it on a tray and cover it with really hot water, not only will it be evenly flat, it will clean all the micro pieces of paper stucked on the surface

Thank you for the info. One thing I've learned is to slightly angle dies especially straight edges they feed much smoother.

Wow, this is an excellent and very helpful review, thank you! Great that you showed different sandwich combinations, with and without the Magic Mat. Love that my investment in the original 6” and Plus manual machine accessories is not lost as they can all be used with the new Switch electric machine.

I didn’t realize you could use all the other plates with this machine. I just purchased one and paid $399.99 without tax. It is unbelievable how the price has increased I know I’m in Canada so there is the exchange involved. Into have wrist problems so I’m looking forward t getting it to do my Xmas cards. Thank you for this video

Thank you for the awesome share! Showing us all plates from all the machines was exceptional. Definitely getting the Switch. 🤗

I didn't know about that magic mat until I watched your video! That sounds like a great alternative to the hard plastic plates and it's great that you can heat it to get it straight again! How does it compare in price to the regular Sizzix plates? Scrapbooking Made Simple has the white and black machines for about $169.00. I don't know if they have any left or not but they started selling them on Saturday. They are drop-shipping from the manufacturer. I bought one when I realized all the things it can do. I can hardly wait to get it in the mail and start using it! By they way, it can't break by putting in a sandwich that's too thick. The sensors will refuse to feed it before that happens and will just push it back at you. It's a brilliant design! I'm glad I bought this instead of the crank plus machine, as you can use a precision base plate in this but not the crank plus. That allows you to cut fabric even with wafer thin dies!

Thank you for sharing!

New subbie. I hated the Gemini. Either it cut too deep or not enough. Then I broke it…. Thank you for the review.

Thank you such a down to earth and thorough review.

Hallo, thanks for sharing this tutorial with us. I also have the machine bhad in black, yours is so beautiful in this color bhad in Netherlands it’s not for sale in this color!! MvgGina Belgium 💐😉

Thank you such a down to earth and thorough review. 💕

I love that you showed all the different platforms, but should have made note that using non-sizzix bases and plates void the warranty. Also, wondering why you did not use the actual bases and plates for those of use with only those plates and base? Very good information. Thanks!

I have a Empress machine that I love, but I want this one because it will take my 3D embossing folders, and the Empress won’t. That being said; there are no Sizzix Switch to be had anywhere! Frustrating. Great video.

Great video! I am trying to be patient and wait on the Tim Holtz version, it's black and I'm not a girly girl so I am TRYING trying trying to hold off, lol

Merci pour ces tests qui m’ont été très utiles 👍🏻

Excellent review.

Brilliant, thank you!

Hi! I just saw your video and I love it! I’m on the fence of getting one. Want to ask you if you still love it after a year? I want to get it but like to know if you use all the time. Have a lovely day! Best regards, Wanda

Are you using cuttlebug plates? Looks like their A plate

Thank you for the video! It’s very informative, may I check if the switch is compatible with 3rd party non-Sizzix steel dies and metal flat dies?

Thank you. I tried the magnetic plate & it didn’t take it. Will try again!

That happened to me with my manual die cut machine. I had a Big Kick and I was cutting a thin die and the whole sandwich got stuck. I couldn't get it out. But i did have it for a long time. Then i got the Big Shot Express, an electric die cutting machine. That broke in less than two years. So I got the Gemini Jr. But I can't do the Sizzix Bigz dies in the Gemini Jr. :-/

My switch is somewhat louder than your machine, and it is extremely loud using reverse

When you held things up to show the detail they were too far from the camera.

What if you don’t have a Cuttlebug mat? What mat would you use with the 3D Embossing folders?

Please can you tell me the size of the plates? Thank you so much.

I cannot find at Hobby Lobby or anywhere fight now...

why would you use Cuttlebug plates? Company doesn't exist any more.

Did you find that the effort to feed the plates is the same as the Gemini? I really have to force my Gemini and it's not my sandwich

Anyone having real issues with plates warping or is it just an annoyance?

:

As u know I’ve has lots of problems with my Switch. It seems I’m not the only one another girl on You Tube is having worst problems than me. Her switch is getting the plates stuck in the machine. I’m guessing their are some defective ones out there:(

Be careful with that Magic Mat..my Switch was working great with it and then one day it ate the Magic Mat and almost destroyed my machine! Since that happened, the machine won't take anything but Sizzix plates. If I try to use the Magic Mat, it jams. Other people have been having this issue as well and have contacted Sizzix for warranty repair only to be told that use of the Magic Mat has voided the warranty!
